Waiting Patiently

Oil on Canvas, (detail) NFS

A child sitting at a table, sunlight reflected up from the white tablecloth creating a soft glow under her chin, waiting for her meal to be served...perfect subject matter for not only a journal sketch, but taken one step further it works well as an oil painting.

Doll with Beaded Collar

Ink on Paper, 6.5 x 8.5, $110

This is a journal sketch. I used both brush and dip pen for this. The doll is handmade, and has an intricately beaded collar and dried pods and woody tufts in her hair. Her face if made of fabric, and her eyes, nose and mouth are all hand stitched. I like sketching and painting in ink because I can indicate these detailed areas very quickly. This is a technique I often use when I am journaling.
My next workshop will be on April 25th & 26th 2009 at The Sedona Arts Center.

Morning Tea

Oil on panel, 11 x 14, $300 (framed)

This painting is inspired by a journal entry from February 2009, when I was on a road trip with one of my daughters. I had made the morning tea, and because we were traveling, we used glass jar mugs.
